Streaming to VLC

Postby digish_gabhawala » 24 Mar 2009 10:57

Hello,

I want to stream audio to VLC player.

I want to wrap that audio in mpeg2ts. I have PCM16 data that I want to send.

I have tried to play that PCM16 data to VLC after dumping it into WAV file. but for that I had to add wav headers.

Is it possible to stream that to VLC? If yes, do i need to send that wav header very first time? or is it not possible?

from recorder side, I can only have audio in one of following formats: PCM,G711,G729,ILBC,AMR.
My main requirement is to send that data to VLC to play over Mpeg2ts. so is it better to go with some other codec or PCM is better?

I have tried with AMR but found that VLC does not support AMR.

I am new to this field, so please help me.

Thanks,
Digish

vlc can stream mpeg2ts format. for that you just need to confirm that your mpeg2ts encoder supports pcm16 or wav format.
aac is better format.
